What does Anju mean?

Anju is a feminine name of Sanskrit origin (अञ्जु), often interpreted to mean "blessing" or "grace." Commonly used in India and Nepal, it is typically a diminutive or affectionate form of names like Anjali. In Hindu traditions, names derived from roots like anj (to honour or offer) carry spiritual connotations linked to devotion and purity. While Anju has retained consistent usage across generations in South Asia, its simple, graceful construction has occasionally led to adoption in diasporic communities as a stand-alone name.
